To encourage more people to grow their own fruit, Julian is hoping to develop a Community Orchard scheme, whereby community groups will undertake to create orchards in currently unised pockets of land. Any groups intereseted in taking part in the project, or who can identify suitable areas of land, should contact Julian.
